I've noticed that there are over 100 pages in this thread. I might read through all of it, but wondered if there is a FAQ on how to be a GE, any guidelines etc?
I'm hoping to do this in the new year and have some ideas on what I want to do. I would like to put the images aside, as I do when I give my UAs, and I guess I can just put them in a folder like that and then award later?
Anyone else have any input here :)

Anne T. - AFAIK there are no rules as to when and / or how often during your week as GE you have to / should publicise your awards. It is just that so-called "common practise" means that most GEs publicise ('omgående') continuously as the day and week progresses.
How you do it is up to you...

[quote]Anne,
Just remember, that if you put them in your UA folder, whenever you give your UA, ALL the images currently in the folder will be deleted[/quote]
Ah, thanks for reminding me of me that. I'll just make another folder then, and name it GEA and then delete when I'm done. That should work shouldn't it?
Takk Malc - håper du hadde en god jul!

Not really Anne, as it will not be linked to the site:(
Why not do, what I do - keep a note of the last image you viewed and when you next go to the main gallery, backtrack until you arrive at your last point

Could the Guest Editor have a shortlist gallery to use for the week s/he is judging. Just makes it easier to be able to sit down and look at them all in one place. I like to look at images more than once before I award my UAs for instance.

Just use the User Award shortlist but remember to award the GEAs before you award any User Award,
